    Dexter: New Blood

    Yeah I wonder if he really loves the new scripts or he just noticed that he hasn't had a major role in anything that matters since 2013.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    There was a substitute in shop class one day (probably 1994) and she was just sitting in the office and letting everybody fuck around. One kid had a shotgun primer in his pocket and he set it on the anvil and hit it with a hammer. It sounded like a bomb went off, super fucking loud. The...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    This is literally the only thing you have to do take care of an aquarium aside from feeding the fish but it's surprising how few people know that.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    They all have some advantage but craps and blackjack are very close to even if you play them correctly.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Same with gambling. I guess you could say that stock trading IS gambling, but if you're standing at the craps table you have to make all the boring bets, not walk away when you're down, and then walk away when you're up. The opposite of human nature. Because of that casinos can offer games...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I've never heard anyone say "fried chicken sandwich" or seen it on a menu. Then again I can't really say I've seen it in many restaurants outside of fast food where they just call it a chicken sandwich. Personally I call it a "costs as much as a burger but isn't as good".

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Certain players are worth more than their position. If you let a guy like Warner go, it's not just his position that gets worse, the whole defense does. Is it too much money for "generic linebacker with this many tackles per season"? Sure. Is it too much for Fred Warner? Maybe not. There's...

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    I'm pretty impressed they got him extended this year. Big bucks but he is worth it. If Nick Bosa comes back looking like his rookie year he will dwarf that deal next year.

    2021 NFL Offseason: QB Carousel Imminent -- Retirement Boogaloo

    Football news is brutal this time of year. Every day I have 3 articles in my google news feed about "Will Nick Bosa have more than 8 sacks this year?" "How many games will Jimmy G start?" "Could Trey Lance win rookie of the year??" Zero new information, just some speculative textual diarrhea...

    Chicken salad is a thing. And club sandwiches have tomato and bacon and probably the extra slice of bread. If I heard "chicken burger" I would think of a patty of ground chicken similar to a turkey burger but I don't know that I've actually seen one. Both chicken and turkey burgers are just...

    RIP Araysar

    This song is a rare example of when almost any cover is superior to the original. It's a great song but the wacky 80's synthesizers make it almost unbearable to listen to. The covers without the shitty production are great.

    I think Musk has a pretty good answer to the people saying "use your money to make earth better" since he pretty much single-handedly brought back electric cars and also owns a solar panel company and is pushing forward the battery tech that is needed to make solar and wind viable on a large...

    Pole Barn / Outbuilding / Machine Shed / Man-Cave / Workshops

    There's a wide range of answers to most of those questions. I put up a 50x100 pole barn in 2015 and it cost about $75k. Half of that was materials and half was labor. It's really bare bones though. No concrete floor, no electrical, no insulation, no heat (it's for parking machinery in)...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Sure, but putting a sauce on it is totally different than salting the meat itself. Making your food taste salty isn't the only effect of cooking with salt. https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/salting-brining-curing-and-injecting/salting-and-wet-brining/

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    This is a terrible way to cook unless you just love bland food. Salt is the most important ingredient in any kind of meat cooking. I honestly don't know how Lanx got his brisket too salty by only salting the outside unless he's into bland food as well. Maybe left it soaking in the juice from...

    There are downsides. Sometimes people will spoil the games for you. I have to stay off of facebook and make sure I don't turn on the radio etc. on Sundays. I have also missed a few games due to DVR malfunctions. Being self employed I usually have something to do on Sunday afternoon as well...

    Only if that's what you want to pay attention to. I DVR the games and never see the national anthem, the commercials, or much of anything else besides the game. It's much better that way and only takes half as long to watch the game.

    I actually saw someone on FB this week trying to find someone to haul hay from Wisconsin to Eastern MT. At that distance you're looking at like $120/ton just in trucking which is more than we would pay for the hay delivered a lot of years.

    History says that they will. I'm just trying to head it off at the pass. I have never watched the national anthem. Hell do they even show it on regular season games? I don't think so. If you are a republican that needs to know that everyone who entertains you shares your politics then...

    Yeah just because you did something doesn't mean you did everything they charged you with and maybe you can negotiate a lesser charge in exchange for not taking it to court. "Not guilty" is just an opening position.

    I'm typing this on a 2013 HP chromebook. It pretty much sucks now, bogs down if I open more than 4 or 5 tabs, but just the fact that it's still usable as an 8 year old laptop that originally cost $368 is pretty good. I like it. Never crashes (at least before it was an antique), very secure...

    Nice. Is it uncool to use a dado set vs. just sending it across the table saw 75 times? Also I thought cool woodworkers didn't like biscuit joints. Maybe that's just a couple people I've seen? I would love to work in that shop. Just the table saw with that gigantic sled would be a game...

    Sherman was my most hated Seahawk for sure. Especially after he broke up the touchdown pass to Crabtree in the last play of the NFC championship and then went to a camera and started talking shit about it. That superbowl was the one and only game I have ever rooted for the Patriots and Sherman...

    That happened to me once when I was in college. I had a coupon for a "free brake inspection" and they put it on the lift and then told me that my tires were so worn that they couldn't legally give my car back without new tires. I was like "Well if you want to put tires on it it's your call but...

    Wish some of that would come up here. We're having the worst drought since 1988 in SE Montana. We're not going to make a single bale of hay this year and neither are most people who can't irrigate. Normal prices for cow hay is around $90-$120 a ton and this year it's looking more like $250 a...

    History hasn't been kind to people who say things are impossible on the technology front. In 1971 the idea of watching any movie you can imagine on demand from a device you carry in your pocket which can also instantly access pretty much all of human knowledge was firmly in sci-fi territory...

    I think I'm on board with the black pipe closet rods. Especially if you had them on hand. Probably better than an actual closet rod in every way and it's not like you spend a lot of time looking at them once there are clothes hanging on them.
